Student Handbook
The Student Handbook website is a resource for important information relevant to all Æ½ÌØÒ»Ð¤ÂÛ̳ and Æ½ÌØÒ»Ð¤ÂÛ̳ Theological Seminary (also referred to as "Æ½ÌØÒ»Ð¤ÂÛ̳" or "the University") students. Although the Handbook is intended for all currently enrolled students, certain sections may not apply to all populations. When appropriate, this will be noted.
Content within the Handbook is subject to change as the University deems necessary to fulfill its mission or respond to evolving circumstances. Such changes may be implemented without prior notice and without obligation and, unless specified otherwise, are effective when made. The University will make reasonable efforts to inform the campus community of significant changes in a timely manner.
All students are expected to review the Handbook in its entirety and be familiar with its contents. Navigation tools, including the left-hand menu and embedded links, provide access to key policies and information. A gray box located at the bottom of each page includes important links.
Below are some highlights intended for ease of use, but should not be considered a substitute for reviewing the entire Handbook.
